Katie has an ability to create a unique, unforgettable environment both efficiently and in consideration of my budgetary guidance. As a business owner, I find these to be unique skills amongst designers.

Problem: As an old machine shop, the space was cavernous and a bit run down. The owners wanted a restaurant that felt inviting, and as if you were transported to another world.

Solution: Drama. Adding layers and darkness to the space gave much needed intimacy. Since the space is open concept, we created sections through color and texture to break it up. We did so much research on Argentina we could’ve received a PhD. When you eat here, make sure you order empanadas.
